Celebrity Dead Pool 2022 - Part 2

They’re dropping like flies, that is if old celebrities long past their prime were insects, which many have the hard exoskeleton of ones already.

I do hope Robby Benson makes it through the year.

Link to Part 1.

Last night I dreamed that I read the Daily Mail and saw the headline about a world-renowned, 50-ish actress who just died. But I woke up before I could catch the name.

Did the headline by any chance include the word "Friends"?

Faye Dunaway

I think this is the year Phillip Baker Hall is gonna kick the bucket.

Al Pacino

Celine Dion

Joe Biden

Tina Turner

Quincy Jones

Rita Moreno

Jack Nicholson

Thanks for part 2 OP!

Lee Grant Connie Stevens Norman Jewison

Marcia Cross — complications from her anal cancer. Total radio silence on her career.

Claude Lelouch

Anouk Aimee

Jean-Luis Trintignant

Lee Grant is about 115 years old, but she STILL looks amazing (for her age). WTF?

Meat Lo-- too late.

Gaspard Ulliel is probably this year's youngest and most unexpected death so far.

Damn, Meat Loaf AND Louie Anderson

Pat Boone?

Pete Davidson

Anita Bryant (crosses fingers)

Frankie Avalon

Susan Kohner

Don Murray

Pat Buchanan

Michael J Fox

So far this year I've guessed Louie Anderson, Sidney Poitier, Meat Loaf, André Leon Talley, Bob Saget, Peter Bogdanovich, Joan Copeland and Max Julien.

I guess I'm getting good at this, but I have to admit the travel is getting expensive but I've had some time and now I'm really into it.

My only regret is Betty White. She was on my list but damned if she didn't kick before 2022 started.

Oh, well. Nature 1.

Back to work!

Judith Light

Mackenzie Phillips

Olivia Newton John

Bob Barker

Britney Spears

Chris Brown

Shannen Doherty

John Goodman

George Lucas

Morgan Freeman

Sally Jessy Raphael

Kurt Loder - the dude is 76 years old!

Dionne Warwick

Friend, R20, I suspect you harbor some carnal fantasy about me and a certain walk-in tub.

TURN from your Sodomite ways, Friend, before it's too late.

Step 1 in your rehabilitation: Buy gold.

Thanks, Friend.

Jimmy Carter.

Jack Nicholson

Henry Kissinger

Norman Lear, Janis Paige, Larry Storch - 99 years old

Henry Kissinger, Glynis Johns, Bob Barker, Carole Cook - 98

Eva Marie Saint, Jimmy Carter, Joyce Randolph - 97

June Lockhart, Angela Lansbury, Lee Grant, Dick Van Dyke - 96

Gene Shalit, Peter Marshall, Roger Corman, Queen Elizabeth, David Attenborough - 95

You're holding up the line!

What is Barbara Walters up to?

Jean-Luc Godard

Dyan Cannon

[quote] What is Barbara Walters up to?

Watching the plug on her life support system...

Keir Dullea

Jungkook Billie Eilish Olivia Rodrigo Zendaya Demi Lovato Umi

Who will be the third fashion industry death after Andre Leon Talley and Thierry Mugler?

Calvin Klein? Ralph Lauren?

That Iris woman who is like a hundred something.

r44 Paco Rabanne? Valentino?

My vote is for Lee Grant.

Teri Garr

I could see a trifecta of formerly blonde old ladies dying soon. The Oscar’s In Memoriam section is going to really eat into the broadcast this year. Maybe Celine Dion can sing the song and then gracefully die herself at the end?

Adding Donald Trump Jr. to the 2022 list. Stay away from drugs, kids.

James Earl Jones

Tyler Posey

Bill Cosby

Number 1, with a bullet (so to speak), is walking train wreck Aaron Carter.

[quote] I could see a trifecta of formerly blonde old ladies dying soon.

Betty White, Yvette Mimieux, and? Who'll be the third? Fingers crossed for Gwyneth Paltrow.

Lee Majors

R53, I didn't realize Yvette Mimieux had died. I remember her from 'The Time Machine' opposite Rod Taylor.

r54 I experienced some fantastic tingles in my pants watching him on the fall guy

Robert Duvall

Gene Hackman

Warren Beatty

William Daniels

Eldergay edition:

John Rechy

Don Bachardy

Martin Duberman

George Maharis

Debra Paget

Daniel J Travanti

Travanti looked pretty fit and healthy (not to mention lucid and well-spoken) when he sat down for an interview after winning some award in Kenosha in late 2019 right before the pandemic hit.

Francis Ford Coppola

R62 Sofia Coppola soon after

Marjoe Gortner

Dick Clark was looking pretty old this past New Year's Eve.

Barbara Eden

Monica Vitti has passed away. She was mentioned by me in the first thread.

Nancy Pelosi. But it won't be a natural death.

R68 Is that you Donald?

R69 - Please, when Nancy dies it'll be like something out of an Agatha Christie novel.

R70 I’m hoping it’s more like Christie in real life, like when she disappeared for nine days, THAT would be fun!

Peter Lupus

[quote] The Oscar’s In Memoriam section is going to really eat into the broadcast this year.

It's the only reason I would watch the Oscars anyway.

Monica Vitti DIED this week

Mel Brooks.

Alas.

Silvio Berlusconi is 85.

Woody Allen and Jerry Lee Lewis are 86.

Roman Polanski is 88.

Come on now. Die, you fuckers.

R76 Let's not forget Rupert Murdoch (90), Henry Kissinger (98) and John Winston Howard (82).

R70 Yeah!

James Earl Jones

Shirley Jones

Jack Jones

So, we’re now listing the exact triad we want to die and they have to have a common thread? This game is getting more complicated then Wordel!

Pat Buchanan

Chuck Grassley

Elizabeth Dole

Jon Stewart

Millie Perkins

Don King is 90 years old. I think 2022 is his year to kick the bucket.

Timothy Olyphant

Priscilla Pointer (97 years old)

Wendy Williams.

William Shatner.

R88 = George Takei

Nichelle Nichols.

Clint Eastwood

Joey Heatherton.

Really, any remaining cast of the original Star Trek is overdue at this point.

Lola Heatherton

William Hurt

Sally Kirkland

Cher

Holly Hunter

Albert Brooks

GEORGE W BUSH

Did the morning Oscar noms kill anybody?

Cher’s mother.

The surviving members of STAR TREK are:

William Shatner - 91 in March Nichelle Nichols - 89 Walter Koenig -85 George Takei - 85 in April

Crap. That didn’t format the way I wrote it.

I can relate, R101. If only there was a preview option available for DL posters.

R102 Yeah, and not only should there be a preview, there should be a five minute edit function.

DL is like something from three decades ago. In fact, there were better-functioning boards out there when it started back in '95.

^ DL is 65 but thinks it can pass for 45.

Sarah Miles

Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart

R106 - Are you thinking murder-suicide? No more I Love Yous indeed!

Rosanne Barr

Rosie O'Donnell

Nehemiah Persoff (102 years old!)

^ So young!

Susan "La Looch" Lucci is almost dead to me! Die Mommy, Die!

Poor Susan. I hope she’ll be okay. Ironically, her mother lived to be 104.

R112 - Which one is Susan?

DWAYNE HICKMAN???!!!! OH NOOOOOOOO! Why am I just hearing about this?

Wait until R114 hears about Bob Saget...

P.J. O'Rou-- damn it!

David Warner

David McCallum

Clive Revill

Ursula Andress

Matthew Perry

Frankie Valli

R119 If Matthew Perry dies, it will end up being another weird "Bob Saget" type grief fest with millennials.

R111 things like that (sadly) remind me no matter how great you can look for your age, on the inside you’re still old.

Hope she’s ok.

CHEVY CHASE

The suburban town in Maryland is going to die?

R124 - That Chevy Chase died in the 80s. The other sometime in the 90s.

David Straithairn

Shirley Jones. She's already buried two husbands and a step-son.

Andrew Prine

Robert Ito (90 years old)

We're having another death lull, no one has died for a week or two.

I don’t really know who this is in the whole twisted affair of this story, but it seems bizarre, like lightening striking twice in the same place. Do we know if Prince Andrew visited recently?

Jack Grealish, due either to aggressive untreated VD, a crime of passion, or huffing too many whippits while trying simultaneously to maintain fitness enough for 2x per week 90m ⚽️ matches.

Who is our next Chris Burrous?

[quote] The suburban town in Maryland is going to die?

Not unless the Purple Line is resurrected…

I think Lainie Kazan is about to go - someone is suddenly posting lots of pictures and credits of movies/theater she's appeared in on her Facebook page. She'll be 82 in three months.

Gary Lockwood

Unexpectedly World Healthcare pioneer Paul Farmer died, much to young at 62 this weekend. I made added a thread about him. I’m really devastated about this one, a personal hero of mine.

Just saw online that Gay Talese is still alive (age 90). I could have sworn he died years ago.

Abby Dalton

Chris Matthews

Abbe Lane

Abbey Lincoln

Abbey Road

Mitch McConnell ...not trying to be mean...but he does have serious health problems.

Does McTurtle still have those corpse-like hands?

I'm thinking Mitch is on dialysis because he has those purple bruises on his hands and IMO that tells me he is getting IVs. regular treatments. I think with Chemo they would administer the drugs differently. Dialysis is the only thing I can think of.

r139 Didn't she die about two years ago?

You’re right, SurvivingAngel.

Robert Wagner

Timothy West

[quote]I'm thinking Mitch is on dialysis

Mitchell Pritchett???

@R139

Oh honey, every knows the real cum son was Lance

r147 Thanks! At least my memory is still functioning ok!! I did wonder if I had confused her with someone else from the big 1980s US soaps like Dallas , Dynasty and Knots Landing and was planning to have a google later!

In terms of actresses from the big US soaps from that era I think Linda Gray seems healthy and vital enough despite losing her son to cancer in recent years so I would not include her as a 2022 prediction or guess. Charlene Tilton seems a bit weather worn for her age but not in immediate danger.Victoria Principal I do not thing I have seen any recent interviews with and shes more low profile these days so harder to tell.I have a vague memory she said years ago she had a medical issue with her blood platelets but I could be confusing Victoria with someone else? Susan Howard is in her late seventies but incredibly low profile.Sheree J Wilson seems active and healthy.Unsure about Priscilla Presley but possibly one who could be a good prediction. Dynasty the best bet would be Joan Collins butthe decade younger Linda Evans could surprise and go both Joan! Michelle Lee from Knots Landing I would say if I had to pick a name from that show.

Just Jaeckin

[quote]Just Jaeckin

He directed "Lady Chatterley's Lover" (1981), starring DL fave Nicholas Clay, and gave us lots of scenes of Clay's naked ass:

Let us facts: at this point, QEII has to head this list. She's even cancelling Zoom meetings.

I think the Palace and the government are hiding the truth to hang on to a shred more stability at a volatile moment.

It's no accident that Parliament just uploaded a research paper advising on the Councillor of State issue (and recommending that Harry be removed from the lineup).

She must be hanging on by her fingernails if they're bringing this up on the government's web site.

I predict she won't last past June, if that.

Well, no one guessed Sally Kellerman.

R157 Looks like Kellerman is a holdover from the 2021 Deadpool.

(Reply 435.)

Sally Kirkland

Putin.

R159 Thank you! Looking at the obituary of Kellerman I kept thinking what was that stunning movie she was in and maybe nominated for? I can picture her in a charcoal pencil skirt and white blouse. I thought it was Anna, but only a 2019 movie by that name came up, and nothing in Kellerman’s oeuvre matched. But it was Kirkland who I was thinking about and you triggered it, much appreciated as it was gnawing on my brain.

Sean Penn if he’s not careful.

R162 I feel like Penn is tired and kind of over existence, anyway. He doesn’t seem enamoured of life.

@R152 - From the Knots cast, I'd say Don Murray (93 in July) is ahead of Michele Lee who turns 80 in June.

BTW, Don was smoking hot as young actor... and he played gay in the movies long before it became popular.

[quote] Well, no one guessed Sally Kellerman.

Least of all, Sally.

That’s not Sean Penn, that’s Meryl Streep in makeup and prosthetics in what is sure to be her greatest role yet.

r164 Thanks for the info 👍 In terms of other male soap actors from the big glitzy soaps I think the pickings are on the slim side as we have lost Ken Kercheval and Michael Nader in recent years and most remaining seem healthy eg Patrick Duffy , Steve Kanalay, John James , Al Corley etc

I may be over looking somebody though.

Also from Knots, Ted Shackleford is looking like death warmed over but I think he's healthy. After Murray, my guess would be Bill Devane who's 84 but looks like he's lead a fairly libertine life -- notwithstanding being married to the same woman for 61 years.

Ojala, mi gordo, borracho hijo de puta!

r168 Thanks I'd forgotten about Ted Shackleford.

Any thoughts on these actresses from the big soaps please

Joan Collins, Susan Howard, Linda Gray, Donna Mills, Stephanie Beacham, Priscilla Presley, Victoria Principal, Barbara Stock,Susan Sullivan? Barbara Eden who was brilliant in Dallas final season is a name worth considering.

R170, unless she's done a complete turnaround, I can see Lisa Marie Presley going before Priscilla! Haven't seen Lisa in a few years, but when I did she looked like complete shit. Unrecognizable!

r171 Oh is Lisa an addict of some kind?

Yes R172. She may be recovering right now, I'm not sure? But she's been an on again/off again user for most of her adult life. A few years back she looked scary bad. And that was even before her son died last year!

Hopefully I'm off the mark and she's well.

As an aside, I had no idea Priscilla Presley remarried and had a son - his wedding pics were in the DM the other day. I assumed she'd kept herself as a sort of shrine to Elvis.

For R142.

Oh no r174 she became pregnant in 1987 whilst starring in Dallas and her character Jenna Wade was then written as pregnant to help explain her change in appearance.

I'm surprised R175 didn't explain that Abbey Road is a street not a person.

R183 - Westminster Abbey

[quote] Joan Collins, Susan Howard, Linda Gray, Donna Mills, Stephanie Beacham, Priscilla Presley, Victoria Principal, Barbara Stock,Susan Sullivan? Barbara Eden who was brilliant in Dallas final season is a name worth considering.

@ R170:

I'm not really that familiar with the other soaps of that era. But I would guess for the ladies:

1. Stella Stevens (Flamingo Road)

2. Joan Collins (Dynasty)

3. Linda Evans (Dynasty)

4. Barbara Eden (Dallas)

5. Susan Sullivan (Falcon Crest)

Stella Stevens is not well at all (dementia). The others are in good health though as far as I know.

r185 Thank you. As a brit I am not familiar with Flamingo Road although I was aware Stella Stevens was in poor health-I just didn't link her to soaps.

Tony Bennett.

Renee Taylor.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy

@R186

Joan Collins turns 89 in May and all her wigs and makeup can't conceal that she has one foot in the grave.

Linda Evans, while "only" 79, has been in poor health for years and frankly looks it

Barbara Eden turns 91 in August. She looks okay for a nonagenarian

Susan Sullivan (recently 79) is probably the healthiest looking, but she's still 79. She's the flip side of Michele Lee, who at least had the advantage of being a dancer and likely kept physical and in shape longer.

None of these ladies are going to be around forever let alone a few more years. Prepare yourselves now for the ultimate cliffhanger.

Maybe Barbara Eden will make to 100.

I Dream of Cryogenics?

Is Olivia Newton John still alive? If so, she'll be dead within twelve months.

There was some blind item months ago about a foreign born actress/singer dying of advanced cancer. ONJ was one of the guesses.

I think there’s a likelihood that Vladdi Putin might not be around much longer.

^ I wish. Same thing with Trump, I predicted he'd be murdered by one of those MAGA idiots.

R177 Apparently Betty can hardly even stand now. she may make out the year but no way is she making 100 I'm sad to say.

Elliott Gould - almost 84 and could barely get out on a chair on SNL last week.

Did anyone have Tim Considine?

Jimmy Walker

Michael Crawford

Topol

Rosemary Harris

Liza

Jason Dottley.

His over-inflated ego exploded and took him out.
